: Water Conservation Efforts in Montana takes place Tuesday, November 12, 2024 – Program begins 7:00 PM at Montana Wild, 2668 Broadwater Ave. Free-All are welcome!
Amy Seaman has been with the Montana Watershed Coordination Council (MMCC) for just over a year. She will report on water conservation efforts across the state. Including a shout out to the updated Drought Plan, bringing new awareness to the state’s first Pesticide Stewardship Partnership Program, and showcasing local conservation efforts in the Sun River Watershed.
Recent restoration efforts in the Sun River Watershed provided the focal point for site visits during the September 2024 MWCC Biennial Watershed Tour. It’s a hallmark event that travels around Montana to demonstrate conservation successes and provide networking opportunities for MT’s watershed restoration communities.
Similar to local projects like the restoration of Prickly Pear Creek, projects throughout the Sun River Watershed are aiming to reduce the impacts of drought. In addition to managing the effects of siltation and irrigation, and reconnect waterways to their floodplains. When these projects succeed, habitat for wildlife, including birds, is greatly improved!
Amy Seaman has over 15 years of experience supporting bird, wildlife, and natural resource conservation efforts in Montana and the west. She brings a broad knowledge of our state’s exceptional watershed resources and has seen many of Montana’s vast spaces and working lands first hand. Raised in Pennsylvania along creeks and rivers, she moved on to receive a B.S. in Environmental Science from Boston University and an M.Sc. in Biology from the University of Nevada, Reno. Amy is Executive Director of MMCC and is based out of Helena where she has lived since 2013.
